Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 27, 1:45 AM EDT, 1 hour 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 1:45 AM EDT, 1 hour 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
145 AM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM (Now through Sunday Night)...
Issued at 309 PM EDT Sat Jul 26 2014

...Increasing confidence for severe threat tonight through Sunday...

The synoptic pattern this afternoon features a strong ridge across
the southern CONUS, placing the Ohio Valley within northwest flow
aloft.  A strong PV anomaly will dive through this northwest upper
flow, amplifying a trough over the region by the end of the short
term period.

Conditions remain quiet across the region early this afternoon, as
warm mid-level air has worked in, capping any convection.  Partly
cloudy conditions will continue through the remainder of the
afternoon which should allow temperatures to climb into the lower
90s in most spots.

An MCV/weak surface low visible on satellite imagery continues to
push east across northern MO.  Mainly elevated convection has
developed over the past few hours near this feature, as a firm cap
has limited surface-based development.  However, most short-term
hi-res model guidance including the 26/15Z HRRR, 20/12Z WRF-ARW and
WRF-NMM depict surface-based convection developing late this
afternoon and early this evening across MO and western IL, then
racing east across southern IL, southern IN, and into northern
Kentucky tonight.  Given the agreement in the hi-res guidance along
with support from the 26/12Z GFS, confidence in this convection
developing has increased from previous forecasts.  As this
convection congeals, it appears likely to develop a strong cold pool
given DCAPE values of 1200+ J/kg and 0-3 km shear vectors of 30-40
knots.  This will allow for a swath of potentially damaging winds to
push through IL/IN and into KY.  The timing of this convection puts
it into our southern IN counties around 2-4Z, and into the
Louisville metro area between 3-5Z.  Given the timing, the surface
will be stabilizing somewhat as we lose heating.  Therefore, think
the best damaging wind potential (some potentially significant wind
gusts) will be just northwest of the LMK CWA, but still expect a
swath of potentially damaging winds to push into southern IN and
northern KY tonight, with the system likely weakening as it pushes
further into KY.  This damaging wind threat will go all the way into
the Lexington metro, but will likely be more localized in nature at
that point.

A westerly low-level jet of 35-40 knots will ramp up tonight in
response to the approaching PV anomaly.  Therefore, any lingering
outflow boundaries will likely remain active (especially if they can
become oriented more north-south so convergence will be maximized)
overnight.  Given the expected path of the MCS, the southwestern
flank of the outflow will be the most likely spot for renewed
activity overnight, which will likely be across southern IN and
north-central KY.  While an isolated severe risk will persist with
this later convection, think the main threat will then transition to
heavy rain.  Given PWATs near 2 inches and the potential of training
storms, some localized flash flooding does appear possible, despite
the ground being so dry in recent weeks.

Confidence begins to decrease on Sunday as it remains unclear just
how much cloud cover and lingering precipitation will be around.
However, guidance continues to suggest the atmosphere will recover
ahead of the approaching upper trough and strong surface front,
setting the stage for additional severe thunderstorm development.
0-6 km shear vectors of 40-50 knots oriented mostly orthogonal to
the surface front, along with a favorable orientation to the
right-exit region of an 80+ knot upper-level jet streak will support
initial supercell development.  The best severe threat will be on
the Kentucky side of the river, where the front will be crossing
during peak heating.  Given the drier mid-levels and steep lapse
rates, large hail will be possible in addition to damaging winds
with these storms.  An isolated tornado is not out of the question
given the potential for semi-discrete storms, but it will likely
take interaction with any lingering outflow boundaries to make up
for a lack of ambient environmental low-level SRH to produce an
isolated tornado.

Otherwise, conditions will quickly clear out Sunday evening as the
front sweeps across the Ohio Valley.  Drier and cooler air will
filter in, as lows Sunday night drop into the mid 60s.

.LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)...
Issued at 308 PM EDT Sat Jul 26 2014

A highly amplified upper level pattern will be in place for much of
the extended forecast period.  A very well advertised upper level
trough axis will remain parked across the eastern third of the US
through the period.  This upper trough is unseasonably deep and will
bring much below normal temperatures to our region next week.  The
below normal temperatures may tie or break record minimum
temperatures at some of our observation locations early next week.

A compact vorticity lobe may rotate around the base of the upper
trough on Monday which could bring some scattered rain showers and
clouds to mainly the eastern half of the forecast area.  After this
feature rotates out, the upper level trough remain in place across
eastern North America as the pattern generally remains blocked
aloft.  This will result in a cool northwesterly flow which looks to
keep the bulk of the week dry but with below normal temperatures.
Highs Monday and Tuesday will only top out in the middle to upper
70s with overnight lows in the lower to middle 50s. The upper trough
looks to open up slightly by Wednesday, but conditions will remain
rather dry with slightly warmer temperatures.  Highs by Wednesday
look to warm into the upper 70s and lower 80s with overnight lows in
the upper 50s to around 60.

The forecast becomes increasingly more complex by later in the week
as the upper level troughing becomes a bit more established once
again over the eastern US.  Both long term deterministic runs of
the Euro and GFS both eventually develop a cut off low that holds
sway over the Ohio Valley by late in the forecast period.  The
re-amplification of the pattern will likely result in increasingly
wetter conditions as we move from Friday and into next weekend.

In general, we have preserved much of the previous forecast which
started capturing the evolving trends.  This forecast simply
increases cloud cover and slightly increases PoPs from Friday and
into Saturday.  With the expected increase in cloud cover, we also
expect that afternoon maximum temperatures will likely be a bit
cooler as well.  Highs Thursday will likely be the warmest of the
week with readings in the lower-middle 80s.  Temperatures are likely
to drop back into the upper 70s by Friday and Saturday.  Overnight
low temperatures look to remain cool with readings generally in the
lower 60s.

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 139 AM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014

Decaying MCS continues to push off toward the east, leaving a brief
reprieve for area terminals. Behind it, some showers have popped up
around the region, but should pose no significant impact aviation
interests as these shouldn't contain lightning nor drop ceilings
below VFR. However, hi-res models are indicating redevelopment of
convection after 07Z over far southern IN and northern KY, which
could put SDF in the cross hairs once again. This activity is
anticipated to remain elevated and not pose a severe threat; should
be unlike earlier this evening. This development, if it pans out, is
due to instability advecting back in behind the MCS and jets moving
in from the north and west. Given the lack in confidence in this
occurring though, have negated mentioning in this TAF issuance and
will simply amend as necessary.

Uncertainty in exact timing and placement of convection on Sunday
also negates mention in this TAF issuance. Storms firing up during
the day will be highly dependent on what happens over the next
several hours. However, storms can be expected in or around all
three terminals with a potential for severe weather, particularly
near LEX and BWG. The fropa is expected to have cleared all three
terminals sometime or shortly after 00Z Monday and will take with it
storm activity.

Winds will be a concern during the day as 15 to 20 knot
southwesterly gradient winds are expected with higher gusts. Winds
could even higher in or around any storms.
